Why We Love It: A Former Chef's View
Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef whose experience spans fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens, including cooking for royalty and internationally renowned artists. She and her husband built Arima around one idea: professional kitchen experience, translated into honest guidance for home cooks.
“Sharpening rewards consistency more than speed. Establish the correct angle, use even pressure and work methodically from heel to tip. For this configuration, I would prioritise control, fit and the task it is genuinely designed to perform.”
Arima Homewares is an Australian family-owned business operating from its Sydney warehouse since 2018 and an authorised Wüsthof stockist. Learn more about Arima Homewares.
